Before I could even get out all the calls to action, Tom Anderson changed his mind and fired Psychic TV! So now the question becomes... would Psychic TV be willing to play at a trans friendly location? BS West perhaps? Wild Card? Somewhere Sadisco supports?

Previous information:

Psychic TV is coming to Scottsdale, Arizona... and surprise, surprise, in the most ironic move yet, they're playing at Anderson's. Everybody come, it's a Party and a Protest!

MON AUG 27 -
PSYCHIC TV PERFOMRING LIVE
IN ARIZONA MONDAY AUGUST 27 LUCKYMAN & WILLIAM REED PRESENT The founder of Industrial music, Genesis P-Orridge & PSYCHIC TV [LONDON, UK] ANDERSONS FIFTH ESTATE 6820 E 5th Ave Scottsdale, AZ 85251 (480) 994-4168 8PM / ALL AGES / $12

So show up to support Psychic TV and Genesis P.Orridge, but DO NOT BUY DRINKS because we do not want to support Anderson's!

I wrote to Psychic TV to find out if they realized that Tom Anderson had turned Michele and 4 other lovely ladies away at the door, and of course they were unaware. They hadn't heard about the discrimination case against him. WELL THEY HAVE NOW!!!

Psychic TV says it is too late for them to cancel the show, so we should bring as many GLBT people in as possible to flood the place en masse and Psychic TV will even post a Psychic TV band member at the door to make sure everyone is treated respectfully and allowed in. YOU GO PSYCHIC TV!

So show up, pay the cover for the show, but DO NOT BUY DRINKS. And while you're at it, bring a blank face mask to support all those who have been discriminated against in Scottsdale, Arizona and anywhere! Remind Anderson's that the nameless blameless disinfranchised and discriminated masses are all around him. We're your neighbor, your sister, your brother, mother, father, aunt and grandpappy! We are not invisible, we do exist!

That's right, I'm putting a call out to one and all and the bathroom sink! I hear people from Sadisco will be showing up in genderfuck and using bathrooms willy nilly. Tom Anderson wants to make this a bathroom issue? Well THIS should be interesting! Someone from AZ Trans Alliance will be bringing unisex bathroom signs, so use whatever restroom calls to you people and let people know that no matter what your body type, it shouldn't matter where you pee. A toilet's a toilet, don't discriminate against the poor restroom facilities!

Especially you who are transitioned and moved on, straight but not narrow, MtF, lesbians, trannies, FtM, gay, genderfucked, drag kings, Sisters, friends, drag queens, bisexual and heterosexual allies of all of the above! Come as you are, or cross dress and fuck with gender for the evening. Use your best and worst judgement on which restroom fits you. Thank the guards for keeping you safe, be polite, be funny, be friendly, and get real!

For those of you who haven't heard, Anderson's 5th Estate has been turning transgender people away at the door, specifically women that they feel they can discriminate against for some reason. Here's the press release Equality Arizona and Michele have put out there.

Now that Psychic TV is playing at his club he's taking it one step further . "I had no idea," Anderson replied when told about Genesis P.Orridge and crew "That's an
outside promoter doing that. I'm sure, from some of the customers that will be transgender in nature. So we'll have to use some special arrangements to get through that show. I'll have to have security for the mens room, and they'll have to use the men's room."
Um, and what bathroom will the illustrious Genesis P-Orridge be
using? "I let the national acts like that use my office, and there's a
bathroom there, so more than likely, that's where he'll be," said
Anderson.

Say WHAT?!?!? And elsewhere he says he is doing this as some sort of peace offering to the transgender community? Now Tom sweety, really; you can't even keep your own stories straight! Did you plan it or were you ignorant until the media asked?

I know it's hard to believe but apparently Tom Anderson hasn't heard that discrimination has gone out of style! To think, in this day and age we still have places that think they can discriminate against an entire class of people and get away with it. Seperate but equal stopped being ok a long time ago Tom, it's so last year!
